Layoffs at GibClose to 75 laid off today. The $250 mill spent in the last 2 years on expanding, and Phase 3 on hold, TKO's layoffs will not affect their production. The new resource estimate out soon on expanding the resources at Gib. TKO aiming for the $1 mark cost of production, with 14 M ton of ore stored at a 1-1 strip ratio that the new 40 yard shovel will see the others parked that cost 5 times as much to operate. We are state of the art with facilities and management. The POC has ambushed far bigger companies than TKO. We have $60 mill to weather the storm. The Sept numbers point us toward 85 M copper. The town of William's Lake has seen enough jobs lost in the foresty industry, and the loss of jobs in mining, should only add to the political will for change. The 15 years and $90 million spent trying to bring Prosperity to a decision. Jobs becoming scarcer in the Chilcotin. Something has to break here. jmo.
